The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes of alogliptin, once daily (QD), compared with placebo, in addition to standard of care, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Treatment With Alogliptin in Addition to Standard of Care in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes and Acute Coronary Syndrome

Percentage of Participants With Primary Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) [ Time Frame: From randomization until the adjudication cut-off date of May 31 2013 (maximum time on study was 41 months). ]

Primary Major Adverse Cardiac Events were defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke; these events were adjudicated by an independent cardiovascular endpoints committee.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Percentage of Participants With Secondary Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) [ Time Frame: From randomization until the adjudication cut-of date of May 31 2013 (maximum time on study was 41 months). ]

Alogliptin is a selective and potent dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor developed by Takeda for use in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cardiovascular outcomes is of special interest in the type 2 diabetes mellitus population, particularly in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who have cardiovascular disease and are at high risk for major adverse cardiac events, such as those patients who have had recent acute coronary syndrome.

This study has been designed to evaluate the cardiovascular safety of alogliptin versus placebo in addition to Standard of Care in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome.
